Outlet inside peninsula cabinet

I'd like to put a utility outlet on the end of a peninsula. The cabinet is a slide out trash container and there's enough clearance inside for a shallow outlet box, so no problem there. What i'm not sure is how you run the cable to the box. Plain old Romex? Wire mold? Other? The feed comes up through the floor from the basement.

I would use M/C 90 to feed this, and find a way to get a deeper box in there. Perhaps a 52OW, and have it stick inside the cabinet. We do that for school labs all the time.

You can always use a GFCI breaker rather than trying to use a GFCI recepticle if depth is an issue. It's just that resetting it may be more of an annoyance but the thing should not trip it, and if it's dedicated, it normally won't be an issue.
